How do I change my wireless password on Apple  Airport extreme

How do I change the wireless password on my Apple Airport extreme?

On your Mac......
Click the Finder icon (that smiley face on the left side of the dock)
Open Applications
Open Utilities
Open AirPort Utility
Click on the picture of the AirPort Extreme, then click Edit in the smaller window that appears
Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
Edit / backspace out the current Wireless Password entry
Do the same to Verify the new password
It might be a good idea to write down the new password and store the info in a safe place
Click Update in the upper right corner of the window and allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart

  • How can I extend a wireless network with my AirPort Extreme Base Station?

    Today I purchased a brand new, dual-band base station to replace my Belkin N router, as I have had a handful of firewall, coverage, and other networking problems in my house lately. First off, I really like this router and it was very easy to setup. My MacBook Pro could use both bands and established a 300 Mbit/s link very quickly. After tweaking various settings to my liking, I was also able to maximize the connections on many of my non-Apple machines and devices. I noticed that the range of its network was better than my Belkin's, but unfortunately, it failed to completely saturate the area sufficiently. Since the Belkin still works well enough, I was hoping I could bridge them together one way or the other.
    The Belkin router does not support any bridge mode that I know of, but the AirPort Extreme should be able to join a wireless network and then extend that over WiFi and Ethernet, correct? I would like to place them at opposite ends of my home so I can get strong WiFi signals everywhere inside. However, when I try to get the base station to connect to my preexisting WiFi connection, it tells me that I can't extend the network and fails to join.
    So is this possible? And if it is, how would I go about setting it up? I know it would probably be easier if I had a simple range booster such as an AirPort Express, but I didn't buy one while I was at Fry's since I hoped I could make use of the older Belkin. This is its product page, if needed. Thanks for any suggestions.

    Sorry, but no. The AirPort Extreme Base Station cannot "join" a network like the AirPort Express or Time Capsule, but you wouldn't want to do this anyway because in this configuration these devices will only perform as wireless clients ... not routers.
    Instead, the AirPort Extreme can either be extended or can extend another 802.11g or 802.11n AirPort ... or a very very few non-AirPort devices.
    One option for your Belkin would be to connect it to the AirPort Extreme by Ethernet but this may not meet your requirements or be a desirable situation. Otherwise, you would need to get another AirPort to extend your current one.

  • How/where do I find the password/passphrase on airport extreme to set up printer?

    I am trying to set up my printer, and I have the Airport Extreme router. It asks for a password/pass phrase and states that it should be ont he bottom of the router. I have tried every number and letter that is on the bottom of the router and still I can't get the printer set up. It keeps stating that I have the wrong WPA password. Anyone know where I can find this WPA password?

    It's the same one you use when connecting to your wireless network with a computer, and no, it's not printed anywhere on the Extreme.
    If you are using a Mac that you use with that Extreme, I have a way to determine it.
    If not, you will need to reconfigure your Extreme with a WPA password you remember.
    Let me know which procedure you would like.

  • How to create extended range network using three apple airport extremes?

    Hello! The idea is, I want to use Apple routers to create a large range network for a hotel that has 300 FT Hallway. I have tried everything in the airport utility but nothing works.  The idea is, in the whole 300 FT hallway, i want to put three apple airport extreams. one in the middle of the hallway which will be connected to the modem, one on the each end of the hallway that will be connected to the middle airport extreme via eithernet or extend network range option from airport utility.
    Image shows, what I am trying to achieve.
    http://imageshack.us/scaled/landing/35/10e6.jpg
    These what I have tried so far. Airport extreme is refered here as "airport"
    1. Connect Airport 1 to modem, then on Airport 2 use extend network feature to extend the range of airport 1 network. This did not work. Airport 2 keeps on blinking yellow.
    2. Did same thing as step 1 but also tried it using ethernet cable going from Airport 1 in to Airport 2's ethernet inbound port.
    3. Connected modem to switch, from swith one ethernet cable goes in to Airport 1 and one cable from SWITCH goes in to the airport 2's ethernet port.
    Only thing that works is, if I connect ONLY ONE airport to the modem or the switch. I am not able to use two airport extremes together.
    Please advise what I can do using these or other apple products to have extended wifi coverage in the entire hallway.
    I, however do need to use three extremes as one is not enough to cover the area.
    Thank you.
    Hopefully some one can help me and correct me where I am doing something wrong.
    Thanks.

    Exactly what model extreme are you using??
    What device is being used as setup with airport utility?
    1. Connect Airport 1 to modem, then on Airport 2 use extend network feature to extend the range of airport 1 network. This did not work. Airport 2 keeps on blinking yellow.
    Amber blinking just means something needs adjusting.. it should still show up in the utility and you can find out what the extreme is complaining about. If not start over.. it is absolutely crucial you factory reset and start over.. the extreme must present as a new wireless device in wifi and then you can setup to extend the existing wireless.
    2. Did same thing as step 1 but also tried it using ethernet cable going from Airport 1 in to Airport 2's ethernet inbound port.
    This is a much better arrangement.. The Extreme plugged into the Modem.. what mode is it in? It must create a wireless network.. make sure the network name is short.. no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
    The extreme plugged into to give better range.. must be in bridge mode.
    It must create a wireless network of the exact same name.. exact same security settings and same password.
    Follow the instructions here if you do not follow.

    3. Connected modem to switch, from swith one ethernet cable goes in to Airport 1 and one cable from SWITCH goes in to the airport 2's ethernet port.
    This is the same configuration as 2. There is no difference where you put the switch.
    Only thing that works is, if I connect ONLY ONE airport to the modem or the switch. I am not able to use two airport extremes together.
    Setup according to the apple instructions for roaming network.. it will work.
    If it fails give us more info.. what model AE. etc.
    Also give us the IP address and screenshot of each units setup for wireless.

  • How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? Because of the update on apple ID, when I try to delete icloud account I have to put in the password, and it says username or password is invalid (because no longer apple ID).

    How do I change icloud email when my apple ID has been updated to new email? When I try to delete icloud account (in settings-icloud-delete account) I have to put in the password for the apple ID of my old email address, which is no longer my apple ID, and it says username or password is invalid (I'm guessing because that is no longer my apple ID).

    You will wait for the rest of your life. You need to fix it; no one else will. To turn off "Find my iPhone" and its associated Activation Lock you need the Apple ID and password that were used to turn it on. If you know the Apple ID you can contact Apple Account Security and have them reset the password (after you prove you are the rightful owner of that Apple ID). see: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699.
    If you don't know the Apple ID the phone is permanently unusable.

  • I had the "WhatsApp" hack on my email, changed all my passwords (gmail, apple ID, etc.) but now I can't send messages through my mail app on my laptop even though it's signed in to my gmail account and is receiving messages.. How do I send msgs again

    I was hacked by the "whats app" email and had changed all my passwords (gmail, apple ID, etc), my mail app on my laptop is signed in to my gmail as per usual and is receiving mail but not sending mail. How do I get it to send mail again? Also is it ok to have the same gmail account used (as my mail and applied ID) after the hack or should I completely reset everything? Ie. get a new email address…So frustrated and confused, please help!!

    It's normal for your phone number to be grayed out in Settings>Messages>Send & Receive under "You can be reached by iMessage at" on your phone because it can't be changed.  If you phone number is listed there it should also be listed further down under "Start new conversations from".  If you tap your number there to select it, your messages will be identified to others as coming from your phone number, not your email address.
    Is you phone number listed there on your phone?

    I have a MAC, Apple TV and wifi.  My ex gave my neighbor the password to my wifi and now I want to change the password so she can't access my network any more.  How do I change my Wifi password so I don't mess up my Apple TV?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    You can't do that, you'll need to change the password on your Wi-Fi and then change the settings on the Apple TV to log into your network again using the new password.

  • How do I change my keychain password on my iMac?

    Currently my login password and my keychain password are the same in OSX 10.9.1.  For additional security, how do I change my keychain password so that it is different from my login password?

    don't think that's possible your login if you are administrator on the computer is what goes in the keychain too
    if you want to give access to people to the computer whom you do not trust with the keychain access then you should consider making user accounts for them with the rights you choose

  • HT4865 How do I change my icloud password

    I wanna know how can I change my icloud password ?

    1. Before doing anything, turn off 'Find my iPhone/iPad/Mac' on any devices it's enabled on.
    2. Sign out of iCloud on all your devices. On a Mac, System Preferences>iCloud and click 'Sign out'. On an iOS device, Settings>iCloud and click 'Delete account' (this will not delete the account from the server). Your iCloud-synced data will disappear from your device. If offered the opportunity to save it on your Mac, don't.
    3. Go to http://appleid.apple.com, sign in and click 'Password & Security' in the sidebar. Answer the security questions, if set, and then click 'Edit' next to the password field. Save.
    4. Sign back in on all your devices. Your data will re-appear (give it time). You can now re-enable 'Find My...'.
    5. I reiterate, before your start, turn off 'Find My...' or you will probably need the services of Support.
